Emperor Mingyuan sends one of his advisors, Baba Song the Duke of Nanping, to attack the Rouran, in 410 and when Baba is surrounded by Rouran troops, Emperor Mingyuan personally leads an army to relieve Baba.

Guanggu falls in spring 410, and Murong Chao is captured.

Liu Yu rebukes him for refusing to surrender, but he does not answer Liu Yu at all and only entrusts his mother to the Jin general Liu Jingxuan, who had previously been a subject of his uncle Murong De.

Gerontius has by this time promoted one Maximus (his son, or possibly one of his staff), to the rank of Augustus.

Gerontius now marches into Gaul, leaving Maximus in Spain.

Raiders from Ireland, such as the Uí Liatháin and Laigin, harry the British coasts.

They plunder towns and capture slaves but later colonize will large areas of what is called Gwynedd, in particular Llŷn, the coasts of Arllechwedd, Arfon and the Isle of Mona.

Saxon pirates raid Britain, which Constantine has left defenseless.

The Roman inhabitants of Britain and Armorica, obviously upset that Constantine can no longer effectively defend them, rebel and expel his officials.

Western Emperor Honorius sends his Rescript (diplomatic letters) to the Romano-British magistrates, where he explains that the cities in Britain must provide for their own defense against the Angles, Jutes, and Saxons.

This effectively ends Roman rule in Great Britain.

Murong Chao is delivered to the Jin capital Jiankang and executed; some three thousand Southern Yan officials and nobles are executed as well.

Constantine's response to this tightening circle of enemies is a final desperate gamble: encouraged by the entreaties of Honorius' magister equitum, Allobichus, who wants to replace Honorius with a more capable ruler, Constantine marches on Italy with the remaining troops left to him, crossing the Alps into Liguria.

When he learns of the death of Allobichus, whom Honorius had suspected of treachery, Constantine is forced to retreat into Gaul in the late spring of 410.

He is now faced by troops from Spain who have invaded Gaul under Gerontius, who besieges him in Arles.

Flavius Constantius, Roman general and politician, is promoted to the rank of magister militum.

He becomes the imperial adviser of Honorius, and the power behind the throne in the Western Roman Empire.

 Attalus represents the interests of many of the senatorial aristocrats, interests that differ from those of the emperor Honorius in Ravenna.

The appeal of Attalus' authority is therefore limited to Italy, where he is by no means universally accepted.

Born a pagan and having remained so, he is baptized during his reign by an Arian Gothic bishop.

Dispatching an unsuccessful expedition against Heraclianus, Attalus fails to establish his control over the Diocese of Africa, and no grain arrives in Rome, where the famine becomes even more frightful.

Jerome reports cannibalism within the walls.

Attalus has brought Alaric no real advantage, failing also to come to any useful agreement with Honorius (who is offered mutilation, humiliation, and exile).

In the summer of 410, he marches on Ravenna in the company of Alaric.

Gwanggaeto begins his conquest of Dongbuyeo in 410 with a massive army, against whom the Dongbuyeo army is no match, and it suffers a series of defeats, finally surrendering to Goguryeo after King Gwanggaeto has conquered sixty-four walled cities and more than fourteen hundred villages.

Gwanggaeto also has attacked several Malgal and Ainu tribes further north, bringing them under Goguryeo domination.
